Another city wants to get sued over their stupid drag law

Branson, Missouri, AKA Las Vegas for people who think ketchup is too spicy, passed a new ordinance that restricts where drag shows can be held in the city of Branson, and who can attend them. The Board of Aldermen passed the ordinance with a 4-2 vote, with Aldermen Cody Fenton and Chuck Rodriguez voting in opposition on Tuesday.

“When we pass this, we’re going to get national attention and we’re going to get sued,” Alderman Rodriguez said. “I just can’t believe we’re doing this.”

Ballroom legend Kevin Aviance spoke to the New York Times about O’Shae Sibley’s killing

Shea Couleé confronted a bigot with a dousing of Starbucks

Today a man harassed 3 teenage girls calling them “whores” outside of Starbucks. I immediately told him that he was inappropriate, and to not speak to young women that way. He called me a “faggot” and a “nigger” so I threw my full iced Americano in his face.

Handling a misogynistic, homophobic racist with a showering of an iced Americano is what that creep deserved. Bravo Shea. We just hope you treated yourself to a refill.

Big Easy Queens, a drag queen horror movie premieres tonight!
Based on this synopsis, Big Easy Queens is a must see!

“Deep in the steamy underworld of New Orleans, Mob Queen of the Quarter Minnie Bouvèé has arch-nemesis Poodles Makenzie’s crew brutally slaughtered. As she braces for the blowback, she begins to notice an unexpected creepy masked figure stalking her, leaving behind bouquets of gardenias and terrifying notes. Is this Poodles’ revenge, or the work of Minnie’s estranged sister who stole her man years ago and has suddenly reappeared in her life?”

The movie premieres tonight at Florida’s Popcorn Frights! Get more information about the festival here!
